    the administration of fatty foods, which have been submitted to the action of the pancreatic juice of other animals. From time to time, Dr. Dobell has published cases treated success¬ fully on this plan, and in this volume he has given a full account of his views, and the cures which support them. To say that Dr. Dobell has discovered the true pathology of tubercle, and the means of its cure, would be premature; but we think that he has made out a case which claims the serious consideration of all medical men.” From the British and Foreign Medical Chirurgical Review, January, 1867. These cases support the proposition, that pancreatic emul¬ sion of solid fat, may be most advantageously given in phthisis. It, moreover, appears to possess the advantage of agreeing with the patient, when cod-liver oil does not. Dr. Dobell’s favourable experience of the remedy is such as to make it worthy of trial by others, and we trust that it may be fairly tested by the profession.” From the Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, Nov., 1867. “ Pancreatic emulsion, as every one now knows, was origi- ginated by Dr. Dobell. . . . We have not had much experience of its use, but within the past few days, we happened to see a young lady who has been taking it for months, and while doing so, she has been changed from a thin, nervous, desponding creature, into a plump, tolerably robust, and cheer¬ ful woman.” ■ . — % From “ The Indigestions or Diseases of the Digestive Organs functionally treated! By Thomas King Chambers, M.D., Hon. Physician to H. P. H. The Prince of Wales, etc., etc. u By the artificial emulsion of fat with pancreatic juice, we certainly seem to be put in possession of an easily assimilated oleaginous material, and a most valuable contribution to the restorative pharmacopoeia. “ Dr. Dobell has used it more extensively than anybody else, and he is convinced of its superiority to cod-liver oil in con¬ sumption. Medical men should warn patients to be careful whom they get it from.
